Very good information above, A+!
I have played the majority of instruments over the years, including flute, clarinet, trombone, euhonium, etc. I picked up oboe as an "adult" - 23 years old. I started on a crapy larilee oboe that was cracked right up by the bore. After about 2 months I was already playing with 2 groups, to add a third a few weeks. I decieded that since I absolutly fell in love with the instrument I would buy the best I could afford, and ended up buying a buffet greenline (yes 5300 dollars). Now why I would never expect a student under maybe junior year (11th grade) in high school to have one. What it says that if your child demonstarates they are truly serious then think about getting him maybe an intermediate model (I like the fox full conserv resonite model).
BTW I was adjusting reeds after 3 months, and after 4 I was making my own reeds.
